Virtualising Windows 7 for Windows 10?

[the-photographer]

Hello, it is possible to virtualise a bare metal Windows 7 installation (split across two partitions) and then operate this within Windows 10?

The Windows 7 installation does have a retail key but is it possible to create a VM based on old hardware and then run it within Hyper-V or similar?

Yes this is possible, it’s called p2v and there are various methods to get it done.

Many thanks, searching for p2v results in lots of information
